Don,

I have bought a lot of equipment from R and L and I've been very happy with 
their service.  One thing to keep in mind though is the cost of shipping.  H 
R O usually has free shipping for anything over $100.  IF shipping is more 
than $10 from R and L, H R O might be the better choice.

The Tmv71A comes with a mic, manual and 12 volt power cord and that's it.

Hello all,



Looking at the Kenwood TMV71A and know lots if not most or all of you own
this radio.



So figured before buy one would ask a couple of simple questions.



What all comes with it out of the box and to operate the radio would I just
need to purchase the vgs1 for speech readout or should I also purchase the
computer interface package too?



R&L has the radio for $359.95 is why was asking as it's the lowest price
have seen so far from the different resources have saved in my internet
browser favorites.



GigaParts shows it for $369.95, Universal shows it for $369.95, Ham Radio
shows it for $369.95.



So thinking about purchasing it from R&L; but, need to know what else
recommend in order to operate the radio out of the box?



These prices are all with the $30 off coupon.



Tnx cul 73 nr4dr
